NBA regular season, Lakers vs. Rockets, although the former can not make fans satisfied this season, but the Rockets are not the Rockets of the Harden period, there is no star, there is no good team cooperation, their only goal now is to cultivate young players wholeheartedly, and the Lakers' goal of building a team in the offseason is to compete for the championship, but the season has played more than 60 games, their record is deteriorating, the last game the two teams all lost, ending the losing streak is not the goal of the Rockets, but the two teams competed, The Rockets were able to dominate overtime, beating the Lakers by 9 points.
From the perspective of the whole game, the Lakers' strong stage is only the first quarter and the third quarter, they won 6 points in the first quarter, and the third quarter also won 6 points, but in the second quarter they lost 11 points in a single quarter, lost 1 point in the fourth quarter, and lost 9 points in overtime, and the Rockets leader Jialun Green dominated the game in overtime, scoring 7 points in a row, leading the Rockets to play a 10-0 offensive climax, while the Lakers had no defense, the offense could not score, and could only accept the final loss.
James tried his best, Wei Shao was also conscientious, the two worked together to get 53 points, led the team to 6 people to score double figures, but still did not oppose the opponent, James played nearly 46 minutes, almost played the whole field, Vogel in order to win is really not sad for the 37-year-old veteran Ah, James shooting average, 26 shots only hit 9 times, three points is 9 of 1, free throws 6 times lost 2 times, got 23 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists 4 blocks 5 mistakes, This is James's 16th triple-double after the age of 35, the most in history of 35 years old + players, setting such a record the Lakers still lost, James plus-minus 17, the lowest in the game.
Especially in the last moment of the game, when the game was left in the fourth quarter for 6 seconds, the two sides were tied, the Lakers had every opportunity to kill the opponent, James broke through with the ball, and had broken through to the basket, the Rockets players had given up defense, James could completely complete the wonderful kill on the empty basket, but he passed the team directly to Anthony on the outside, and as a result, Anthony received three points and shot, failed to hit, the game entered overtime, in overtime, it is conceivable that many Lakers players are old, and the Rockets are all young players, Fighting physical strength is not the lakers' advantage point at all, and finally being taken away by a wave of opponents, why does James not choose to layup? Why did he pass the ball out? After the game, it became the focus of fan controversy, and I personally believe that James can completely play the ball on his own, and there is no need to pass the ball almost empty.
Wei Shao also tried his best, in the face of the doubts of the fans off the field, in the face of the former owner, Wei Shao played a strong performance in the whole field, played for 40 minutes, hit 11 times in 21 shots, got 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, only 2 mistakes in the whole game, Wei Shao improved the scores, assists, rebounds, and the mistakes were reduced a lot, In the last 13.7 seconds, Wei Shao fought for the right of the Ball for the Lakers, there was plenty of opportunities to kill, but the last goal failed to shoot, wasting Wei Shao's efforts, the Lakers' loss and Wei Shao have nothing to do with it, he should not carry such a heavy burden.
The Lakers also set a record by losing 19 points in overtime, 19 points is the most points lost in a single quarter of overtime this season, once the Lakers started with defense to win the championship, facing the rebuilt Rockets, they used defense to give the opponent a victory. The Lakers' current record is 28 wins and 37 losses, ranking 9th in the West, losing this game, so that the gap between them and the Pelicans' wins has narrowed again, and the playoffs are in danger for the lakers now.
